”What is this?” Li Du asked while looking over the document
Hans did not reply and first said, ”Careful, don't ruin it!”

Hans warned hi ”Yes, this iteood We actually found a black gold abalone harvesting per pere of a e was of a black gold abalone
Black gold abalone was a type of black abalone that was considered extremely rare marine life Fro fossil by ists
This type of black abalone was a special product of Australia, as it was only produced in Australia and New Zealand Meat and ht after around the world The Maoris, ere the native people of New Zealand, referred to the abalone as ”black gold,” so that's how they caold abalone”
Since ancient times, the Chinese were especially fond of sea cucumbers and abalones As a matter of fact, abalones were found in h they were hard to catch and cooking thereat effort, they were very cheap in many places before East Asia's food culture expanded to the rest of the world
For example, the seas around America had all kinds of rare abalone Despite that, Americans did not kno to eat the theth and economic power of various East Asia countries, especially China, the fondness that East Asians had for abalone began to spread to the rest of the world, which brought about the increase in the price of this type of aquatic product

With a limited amount of time in the water, divers still had to select abalones that were more than 125 centimeters in diameter, as only those abalones could be harvested Consequently, the harvesting of black gold abalones was an extremely difficult task
In other words, if soold abalone in Australia, they could only depend on their own diving ability and were not allowed to bring along oxygen tanks, let alone machines to harvest this type of precious aquatic product
After hearing all this, Li Du suddenly caught on and nodded ”Oh, it's the saulations that the Petrified Forest National Park has for searching for fire opals In order to protect its resources, onlyis allowed, and the use of machines is prohibited”
Hans shook his head ”It is old abalone There are at s in the national park Unlike the national park, there are all sorts of wildAustralia
”Seals, sharks, sea snakes, sea turtles The existence of these animals has caused the ers As such, harvesting black gold abalone in Australia is a very dangerous profession”
